While my truck was parked, it started on fire under the hood in the area of the brake master cylinder. The truck is totaled.

This is the third time the horn and speed control have gone out on this truck and I feel it needs to be recalled I am tired of replacing the same parts in 2 years.

My complaint is that we have tried multiple times to get this recall fixed on our f150 Ford truck. Every time we call to make an appointment the dealership says they do not have the part and don't know when they will. I don't understand whey we continue to have letter sent to us and the news is urging people to bring their vehicles in, if there are no parts to replace it with!!!.

Underhood fire on 1998 Ford F-150 while truck was parked in driveway. Truck had been parked several hours prior to fire. Was awaken by fire department stating they put out fire. Two days after fire we received a notice on a speed control deactivation switch. Everything letter states is identical to what happened to our vehicle. We submitted claim to Ford motor company and they failed to acknowledge our claim stating "that due to extensive amount of damage to the vehicle they were unable to verify a manufactures defect. They made this determination by observing pictures that we sent via email to them. We asked how they could make this determination without someone inspecting the vehicle and only looking at pictures and they stated that they could not determine the cause on most all complaints made to them of vehicle fires of this nature and that our case was considered closed. When I asked mr kellar to let me speak with his boss he stated that he would not transfer me to his boss because he considered our case closed and that I did not need any further information pertaining to his boss.

1998 F-150 Ford truck was a total loss a tree fell on * the consumer received a recall notice in the mail regarding the speed control system. The consumer no longer owns the vehicle.

Vehicle was stopped and consumer had foot on brake, while moving the shift lever to park accelerator went to the floor going backward crashing throught the garage door and inner wall of home.

Vehicle accelerates while brakes depressed. Have had to turn off ignition.

While driving vehicles experiences sudden surges/jerking motions, which has nearly caused vehicle to hit other vehicles, several repairs (transmission, spark plugs and computer unit), however vehicle continues to surge. Mjs.

The consumer had the vehicle in reverse and the vehicle accelerated on its own forward. Consumer had his foot on the brakes, and the vehicle kept on accelerating.

Certain information unavailable. Please contact for additional information.

Vehicle was parked, lurched forward into store.

When coming to stop and applying brakes, the vehicle revved up to/ over 3000 rpm, then lunged foward unexpectedly, causing a rear end accident.

While driving down the highway at 55mph the vehicle had a sudden burst of acceleration that took the vehicle up to a 100mph, almost causing consumer to crash. Dealer has been contacted.

I have noticed a couple of times that due to the relative positions of the brake pedal and accelerator pedal (both in lateral distance and in height) that if you do not get your left foot entirely over onto the brake pedal while stopping or holding stopped at an intersection that you can also catch the accelerator pedal while trying to brake. This results in the truck trying to move forward and the operator trying to depress the brake pedal further with the result being to depress the acclerator pedal further as well. This can occur without realizing that your foot is partially on the brake pedal and the accelerator pedal (once the brake pedal is depressed far enough) I have caught this occurring several times and it can be quite disconcerting when the truck starts moving forward even though you are deprssing the brake pedal harder and harder. I believe the problem to be a design related one that is built into the design of the controls. While it has not resulted in an incident with my truck yet it certainly could especially if a person panics and doesn't realize what is happening. I believe this failure could explain some the complaints recieved about the trucks accelerating when the brake pedal is depressed.

When driving under 20 mph, vehicle accelerated by itself and it almost caused an accident.

1998 Ford f150. Consumer complaint about Ford recall. Consumer states that he has been trying to reach someone at Ford on the phone and has been unsuccessful. He believes that there should be a real person to answer the phone not a machine.

Engine throttle froze open and truck speeds out of control.
